Found one for cheap, and I’ve always wanted to try out an Ecler. I’m not too worried about the channel vu-meters since I can just figure that out by ear. Everything else seems pretty good.
I’m more interested in its midi capabilities. I’m having trouble finding anything related to the 4. All I can dig up is 4.0 stuff.
I do eventually want to move to CDJs (no laptop), and this has me a bit worried. It seems like its main selling point is its midi mapping. That said, I probably will still buy this since I don’t see CDJs in the near future.
I’ve never been extremely big on effects so I haven’t really been looking too much into Pioneer DJMs. The Evo 5 did look pretty enticing considering how much it has at its pricepoint.
Well from what I’m reading, it only has midi capability for channels 2 and 3. That said, I don’t know why you would want to internally mix anyways when you have the external mixer.
Do you lose the midi capability when you use the Nuo as an external mixer?
You would never use a mixer like the Nuo, or any other decent MIDI mappable hardware mixer in Internal mode for normal use.
If you switch 2+3 to MIDI mode you could map them to control FX for example. Then run your audio through channels 1+4 as usual. You also have the central section that should remain active for MIDI control at all times.
I’ve had for the past 6 years and it’s one of the best sounding mixers I’ve used, Ecler mixers arlike the Rane of Spain. Big fat eq knobs, if I w where another one was I’d go buy it right now.
I use it with an Audio 8 and an SL3 (mix video with Serato or VDJ) using timecodes. I am now using a DJM T1 but I plan on getting an Audio 10 and putting in the Ecler.
I wish my Guitarcenter stocked Ecler so I could actually try out the mixer or some variant of it.
